Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

I know you've all wondered it.  I know that it's kept you up late 
nights and even had a few prayer meetings about it.  But the definitive
list of "Why Dogs Don't Use Computers" has finally hit the streets.
Yep!  You can rest at night knowing why little Fido has such an awful
time with the electronic desktop machinery that we all use...... enjoy!
